Public policy for social inclusion in higher education and extension practices with ethnic groups - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to report the experience on the operationalization of a university extension project with and for training affirmative action students.

Methods:

an experience report with a descriptive approach on the operationalization of a university extension project for training affirmative action students, between 2020 and 2021, based on blended-learning and Activity Theory.

Results:

we carried out 103 activities, including actions for product development, media maintenance and targeted study of themes. They involved 13 students from two institutions, two leaders from ethnic groups and eight instructors.

Final Considerations:

collaborative relationships provided the exchange of knowledge about public health policies, educational technologies and social media, reducing deficits in the use of technological resources and application in health education. The activities promoted students’ leading role coming from affirmative action, in a representative way, from their experiences and needs, being potential for equitable training.
